Star Wars Land Character Speculation

[Nathan Banks]

Thought I'd post a thread here like this.

With Star Wars Land coming for 2019, do we think there'll be more Star Wars characters to meet within the Land itself? They surely can't just keep Kylo, Chewbacca and BB8?

So I was wondering which characters do you think will appear frequently for meet and greets?

I'd say it's a dead cert that Darth Vader will make his return to Disney World once the land is open, what do you guys think?
Either that, or he'll return to the Launch Bay in HS and Kylo will move to the land, seen as it's The First Order VS the Resistance, I'm not sure Vader would fit in within the land.

I`m thinking and hope characters old and new may be in SWL.

 

[only hope]

Is Launch Bay a permanent thing? It seems like a temporary one until the land has been open a few months and crowds aren't insane.

LB is expected to close once SWGE opens.
As for characters, that's a tough one.
We know for a fact they have costumes already made for Stormtroopers, death troopers, 1st order troopers, Cody, Rex, Ahsoka, Boba and Jango Fett , Queen Amidala, Aura Sing, Gamorrean Guard, Jawas, Ewoks, Kitt Fisto, Shaak Ti, Mace Windu, Luke, Leia, Anakin, C3P0, R2D2,BB8, Chewbacca , Kylo and Darth Vader
Now which one of those would work with the storyline of the new land is the question

And Rey.

And Rey.

yes, and Darth Maul and Assaj Venterss and the Cantina Band and Ezra and Sabine and Tusken Raiders and Zam Wessel....ugh, why can't we have Star Wars Weekends again?

 

[CAS239]

Boba Fett, C3PO & R2D2, and Ewoks would draw huge lines.

Would they dare to do a Han Solo and Chewy? Could be fun.

We met Starlord and Groot a few weeks ago and loved it. Character really nailed it on interaction as Starlord and Baby Groot was so cute! I could see Young Han Solo with Chewy working similarly.

Am I the only one who actually would love to meet Emperor Palpatine? He is technically the main antagonist of the entire Star Wars franchise. I think he'd be a great addition; correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't he in the parade back in the day when Disney bought Star Wars?

 

[Ladyfish77]

Lol, what would Starlord do if I showed up with my walkman???

Who you saw in the parade was a member of the 501st... They did have Palpatine meet and greet years ago and also they bright him back for the villain's party

I know they're not main characters that would draw the crowd interest like others mentioned, but I'd love to see a few more bounty hunters in SWL. If you're going to push an immersive experience for an outpost at the edge of the galaxy, seems like some of those guys would add a gritty feel to that world. And that's not just because I'd love a photo op with characters like Greedo, 4-LOM, Zuckuss, and Bossk (I'd even settle for a Cad Bane or Embo). Okay - maybe it's because I'd love a photo op...

Although the OP asked about M&Gs, I assume SWL will keep DHS's current use of patrolling characters (i.e., FOTKs and, formerly, the Jawas) that aren't official M&Gs. I'm actually more interested in those for the immersive factor and whether/how they expand those.

 

[yulilin3]

They also have mentioned characters never seen before that will inhabit the land

Droids are expected to roam the land as well.

The girl in front of us challenged him to a dance-off (DCA style!) and he jumped right into it.

I do love the idea of Palpatine and more Bounty Hunters.

 

[monorailrabbit]

PLEASE have R2-D2 and C-3PO. We were never able to make it for weekends and they are the 2 I would most want to meet!

 

[LoKiHB]

yes, and Darth Maul and Assaj Venterss and the Cantina Band and Ezra and Sabine and Tusken Raiders and Zam Wessel....ugh, why can't we have Star Wars Weekends again?

THIS!!!!!

Bossk - 15 seconds on camera, second most popular figure from ESB...

I'd even be happy with Dengar and IG88

The first time we went to the Star Wars weekend the emperor did meet and greets. I felt sorry for his body guards with their heavy robes.

No love for Darth Maul?? My kids and I had an awesome interaction (that a disinterested Photopass photographer completely missed....ugh).

What I really miss is the Hoopla. The year they did Grease may have been my single favorite thing ever.
